| With a number of high-level departures in recent months from OpenAI, one wonders just how much money they have left. And how close they might be to collapsing... For a company that wants to have a massive IPO that would be worth multi-billions, if not trillions, is this the cue to leave the party before the music stops? |

| Four years to vest anywhere, what's the math to leave so early? |
| |
| ▲ | SnorkelTan 20 hours ago | parent [-] | | The vested shares are unlikely to be worth anything, so they are essentially just working for a salary. | | |
| ▲ | twalla 18 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | There's a fairly liquid secondary market for OpenAI stock - see: Forge, Hiive, EquityZen | | | |
| ▲ | browningstreet 20 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Outrageously untrue. So untrue there's a name for it. | | |
| ▲ | bayarearefugee 20 hours ago | parent [-] | | Perhaps everything is fine and this person and the bunch of other recent high profile OpenAI departures just really hate money. | | |
| ▲ | browningstreet 19 hours ago | parent [-] | | There’s a gulf of possibility between. I’m just disputing the idea they’re working only for paychecks because there are no secondary options for their vested stock. |

| OpenAI-Anthropic is similar to Twitter-Facebook. Twitter was full of dramas at the exec and founder level, and that impacted their execution. Facebook had strong leadership, was very focused, and executed well. |

| ▲ | ergocoder 20 hours ago | parent [-] | | That's true. By any standard, Facebook is very much a failure. | | |

| ▲ | ergocoder 14 hours ago | parent [-] | | What a failure. Only be able to afford a giant painting. A truly successful person should've been able to afford a football-stadium-sized painting. |
